UPDATE: @adidas has terminated its relationship with Kanye West. In a statement, the German sportswear giant said, “adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech.” 🚫 “Ye’s recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful and dangerous, and they violate the company’s values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness,” the statement continued. Just weeks after opening its SS23 show at Paris Fashion Week, @balenciaga has also severed all ties with Kanye West. The @kering_official luxury label joins JP Morgan Chase and his representative talent agency CAA, who have dropped the rapper as his increasingly dangerous rhetoric on social media continues. In the aftermath of the latest posts by West—which include antisemitic claims—Neo Nazi demonstrations across the USA have ignited in recent days, with offensive allegations directed at President Joe Biden’s administration, Disney executives, and the board of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The DONDA creator also sparked controversy earlier this October with his YEEZY Season 9 show this past Fashion Week, with shocking t-shirts printed with the words “White Lives Matter”. West also harassed his naysayers online following the show, which led to his temporary suspension on Instagram and Twitter. And of the growing calls for adidas to cut ties with him, West earlier said “I can say antisemitic things, and adidas can’t drop me. Now what?” Well, guess he spoke too soon...
